“Our board wanted to work with Disney, but Disney decided they didn’t want to work with us. It was Disney’s way or the highway,” said one of the Florida governor’s committee members.
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — New supervisors leading Disney World’s revamped governing body said Wednesday that they had good intentions about collaborating with the company after they were appointed by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis but felt betrayed when Disney signed agreements with their predecessors stripping them of most of their authority.
Disney World required masks and had social distancing protocols in place in 2020 when it reopened after closing for several months in an effort to stop COVID-19’s spread. DeSantis has been a fierce opponent of virus mask and vaccine mandates and has petitioned the state Supreme Court to convene a grand jury to investigate “any and all wrongdoing” with respect to the COVID-19 vaccines.
At Wednesday’s meeting, Garcia said the new supervisors last week discovered another “11th-hour agreement” between Disney and the previous supervisors that allows the company to set its own utility rates.

The agenda also has a resolution asserting the board’s “superior authority” over the district that covers 27,000 acres, including two miniscule cities. Until February, the board had been controlled by Disney.
